Making a simple body!
🕑 Added 2022-02-14 20:46:55 +0000 UTCMostly with citrus head dolls, I like to make extremely simple bodies from time to time to get that cute noodle silhouette, here’s how I do it:
Here’s a skeleton!
With the help of some hot glue on the "spine," I wrap some stuffing around the dolls core
I then wrap a strip of fleece around the torso a couple times around, until I get the width I want. The strip is slightly oversized. I hot glue it to keep it in place.
I sew closed the top and bottom of the body burrito to get a nice round shape
I add a neck by wrapping a small strip of fleece to the width I want
I cut down the wire for the limbs, I cut a little at a time and dry fit the limbs between each cut until I get them to a length I’m happy with. I do a lot of eyeballing.
I mark where the limbs sit with a silver sharpie and set them to the side
I once again cut strips to length for the arms, wrapping them tightly to get a nice form
Repeated for the legs
And one last dry fit! That is how I make a simple noodle body for my dolls!
Thank you so much for joining me for my first Patreon post! I appreciate your kindness so much, especiallly as we’re going to be trying to move soon.

Thats right! It's a strip of fleece each limb, wrapped around for torso, legs, arms, and hot glued on the back. I stitch the top and bottom of the torso closed and also sew the legs and arms to the torso so they don't slide down

long overdue pledge here :~) do you sew the backs of the arms and legs or are they just rolled on and hot glued like the torso? i assume the torso doesn't have seams apart from the shoulders and bottom but correct me if i'm wrong!!

Hanging wire from the hardware store :)

This is so helpful thank you so much!!! If you don't mind me asking what specific sort of wire do you use for the armatures?
